Chapter 4: What a lucky fellow!

Chapter 4: What a lucky fellow!

When Carcel saw no one following him, he turned around to face the other three.

"What are you all waiting for? let's get it over with before more participants arrive."

He was the first one to attack the Bear. The power behind his spear was incredible. However, it only scratched the Bear. The Bear becomes furious at Carcel's actions.

GRRRRR!

It roared and made a swinging motion with his front paw. Instantly after a wind slash shot out toward Carcel.

["Protection of unbreakable Shield"] n-.0VELb1n

A protective shield appeared around Carcel protecting him from the monster attack. The protective shield and the monster slash clashed with each other.

Just after a few seconds, the protective shield was cracked open. Carcel used his spear to cancel out the attack that managed to get through the protective shield.

He jumped back after canceling the attack, increasing the distance between himself and the Bear.

"Thanks."

Carcel gazed at Mia with a grateful expression.

Mia nodded, being a Mage she focused more on magic-type skills and spells rather than close combat.

Alec also unsheathed his sword. His body released (F+)-Rank Aura. That's why everyone's attention was drawn to him.

A large amount of dense mana surrounded his sword as he charged forward and aimed at the Bear's neck.

SLASH!

Alec's attack landed on the Bear from behind and a small gash appeared on it's neck.

The bear's eyes turned red with anger as it moved forward and swung its left paw angrily.

Lara glanced at Alec. Her cold eyes showed a hit of surprise.

"He is a sub-rank higher than me."

She nocked two arrows inside her bow. Just like Mia, she was also a long-range fighter.

Lara released the arrows from her bow, intending to pierce the bear's skull.

The arrows were so fast, that not many common (F)-Rank warriors would be able to follow their direction with eyes but the Bear being an (E-)-Monster easily dodged the approaching arrows.

With angry red eyes, the Bear opened its mouth and released a big shockwave in every direction.

Alec who was the nearest to it narrowly blocked the attack but the impact of the attack pushed him several steps back.

["Support skill: Empower the allies"]

Mia gazed at the bear and instantly cast a supporting skill increasing the attack power of the others.

["Freezing barrier"]

Afterward, she cast yet another skill, making the Bear immobile for a few seconds.

Alec gazed at Mia with a raised brow. These few seconds were enough for the others to empower the Bear.

Carcel thrust his spear toward the Bear's chest, he felt his attack power increase due to Mia's supporting skill.

Alec also charged forward and attacked the bear.

Lara not wanting to be outdone nocked a sharp arrow inside her bow. She released the arrow aimed at the Bear's neck.

Under the multiple attacks, the Bear didn't even get the chance to defend himself. It cried in pain and was severely injured.

Taking advantage of the situation everyone once again attacked the bear ruthlessly and it died after a minute.

"Huff.. Huff"

Mia panted heavily because she used up all her mana in her last skill.

Lara gazed at Mia with concern.

"Are you Alright?"

"I am fine."

Alec looked behind him with narrowed eyes. He sighed and gestured for the others to move.

"We should start moving, I can see other participants approaching from afar."

Lara glanced at Alec. Her eyes were cold but she somewhat liked him because, unlike those leechers who always stared at her body with drool his gaze was pure.

With a smirk, she started running.

"Let's see who reaches the finishing line first."

Carcel and Mia gazed at each other and instantly followed behind Lara.

The last person to join the run was Alec but he easily went past everyone. Gaining the lead once again.

Outside the Dungeon,

Multiple projections were present in the sky, showing various recordings of participants present inside the dungeon.

The biggest projection showed how Alec, Mia, Lara, and Carcel defeated the Rank-(E-) monster.

The Audience went wild seeing their performance and cheered for them loudly.

All the teachers present, and even the Vice principal were impressed by their performance.

One of the teachers looked at the projection showing Carcel.

"Second Prince Carcel is doing better than our expectations."

The other teachers agreed with his remarks before pointing out some other students.

"Right, Duke Evan's daughter Lara and Count Albert's daughter Mia are also doing great."

"Who is the black-haired boy? He didn't seem to be from any big house."

"A dark horse! This year we are seeing a lot of talented individuals."

There were also other students who caught the teacher's sight, and one of them was Kyle who looked lost inside the forest.

One of the teachers looked at Kyle's condition with pity.

"What an unlucky participant."

Some other teachers also glanced at Kyle.

"Who is he anyway."

Vice Principal George looked at the projection showing Kyle's location with a smile and mumbled slightly.

"Are you sure he is unlucky?"

After hearing his words, the teachers seriously looked at the projection showing Kyle then finally they noticed something!

"Huh... What's happening.."

The teachers expressed their shock after seeing how Kyle was narrowly avoiding all the monsters.

He would always change direction whenever there was a monster up ahead. It was like he could sense the monster's presence!

Then all the teachers simultaneously thought, What a lucky fellow!

But before they could comment on Kyle's strange situation they saw him falling inside a pit, afterward the projection showing Kyle strangely turned dark.

"Did he run out of luck?"

One of the teachers mumbled.

Vice Principal George chuckled but when saw Kyle's location, he showed a surprised expression and disappeared without any word.
